2023 EKIY T7 Flagship Android Car Head Unit - 360 Parking Cameras - 8gb RAM - 8 Core CPU - Carplay

[@iromafia9786]

You and your videos are the main reason why I bought Ekiy T7 (8/128GB). I must say they have amazing tech support. The seller didn't wan't to sell me the product until I sent him the picture of my device and connectors. He wanted to be sure to sell me the correct cables. I enjoy watching your videos. Best regards from Croatia.

[@jlntvgt]

I purchased the EKIY K5, 8G 128G head unit for my Subaru Crossterk XV 2014, it's actually the entire front bazel of the vents/radio/climate control. I'm a 50 year old female that decided to upgrade the head unit by myself, not really knowing much. Today I installed it and iit seems to be working so I think I did the install correct. The hardest part was talking the car apart to take out the old radio. I do have a couple of plugs from the old radio that didn't get used but I don't see anything missing in the new radio so I'm thinking everything is connected thru the harnesses that came with the EKIY head unit, steering wheel control is working, voice control, reverse camera, on board Diagnostic, GPS, 4G antenna, two USB connect. I have to figure out how to connect the original USB in the armrest, maybe I don't need a total of 3 USB and I can skip that one. It had the 360cameras but I didn't order that because I'm too old school😂. So far I haven't found anything that is a problem with it, I'm very happy with the unit and it looks nice, it looks like it came with the car and not an after market radio. Some things in the settings I don't know what they are and what they mean but with time I'll google them and learn. I paid about $270.

[@chucknorris8704]

That's great to hear, thinking of getting one for my 2015 Honda. Did you come across any issues with the instruction manual? (sometimes Chinese products have very bad English instructions) that's what I'm worried about.

[@james2396]

I picked up one of these head units for my honda jazz and I love it! I'm still installing the 360 cameras but it's a great improvement and really modernises what was otherwise a regular old car. The subwoofer really helps with the audio too, I think the controls for the subwoofer (and audio) are well thoughtout too, I did have lower expectations for it when I ordered the unit.

[@KaptainKlunk1]

DONT BOTHER I GOT A UNIT PLUS ALL THE EXTRAS BESEL WAS WARPED AND PAINT MISSING AND ALSO UNIT WAS GLITCHING ALL THE TIME..THEY OFFERD $4 THEN $10!dollars then when AliExpress stepped in they withdrew their $10 and Ali gave me $49...I paid $320 delivered and it's sat collecting dust. .FUCK YOU EKIY ..YOUVE SCAMMED OTHERS ...

Hi, I've just purchased the T7 8/256 model after watching your very useful review and I must say I am impressed. I did ask the supplier if they had a detailed list of all the menu options with description as some seem meaningless to me as a beginner, but they say they don't have one and to just ask, but that is a lot of questions. Have you thought about doing an in depth explanation of what all the menu options do, you could break it down into sections, like Factory / User / ETC ? E.g. you changed the 4 apps in the bottom box, but how did you do that ? I had no issues installing it, but I'm pulling my hair out trying to work out how to drive it, or customise it and there seems no KZbin videos about that aspect, but plenty of people asking how ! ! !

[@SiroccoSeven]

the dsp is 16 band but 2 channel. if you press set up, you can activate another set of 16 bands of eq. basically you have 1 set of front speakers with 16 band eq. rear speakers another 16 band eq. what I did was front speakers will handle the mids and high but mute the lows. rear speakers will handle the lows to mids but mute the highs. reducing the stress and load of the speakers. of course its nowhere near an actual multi channel dsp where you can configure individual speaker with their respective EQ. this bridges closer. another higher end models offers I think 21 or 27 band of eq configuration with similar 2 channel setup. much more fine tuning capabilities.

[@craigh9547]

Do you know if the pre outs are set up for front or rear as only 2 not the usual 4

[@nestorfernandopatinocardon1791]

Thank you, this fact and the poor customization options on the home screen made me decide not to buy it.

What a great presentation/review video. I have viewed many of your presentations/reviews and they are exceptional an must see for the audience contemplating purchase of HU`s - Thank you so very much and with this you made my day! I have (finally) concluded based on your presentation on the one to suit me. I hesitated on a 360 version but you made me tip over to that "camp."

[@freewings2188]

(This is for people who are curious about the unit i will probably update if i find any issues with it) I just got mine and have been using it for maybe 10 days. I drove about 300 miles with it. The unit works well. My old radio was broken, so i can't say if audio quality improved or dropped, but it sounds good. Gps works very well. I haven't installed the backup camera yet, so i can't say how that is. The microphone is horrible, but the head unit uses a standard 3.5mm jack, so any small microphone will work. Im currently using a $10 mic from amazon android Auto. can be annoying to get setup as it won't always connect. But it does work well. i dont have a sim card in it, so i can't say how well the 4g is

[@SaabUnleashed]

Thanks for sharing your personal feedback, always helps

[@lezbriddon]

Looking extra dapper for the vid! so radio is like 180 for 4gb 220 for 8gb, then 50 for the cameras which need to be ordered at the same time as the radio because the radio needs an extra chip in it, steering wheel buttons 19, 20 or 26 for screw on/internal tpms.... then theres the optional 4ch+sub (4x35w?) dsp box for another 28 and dab for 24 so the full on everything but the sink package is like 367, which i admit is cheaper than a teyes 360 setup (full everything kit radio 337, cameras 100, tpms 50, parking sensors 112, dab 32 so 631...) but I was still hoping it would work out cheaper than that...... maybe if i put on the marigolds, detail the bathroom, detail the kitchen, and the front room, redecorate the lounge and have a shave i can maybe beg for one....

@@vth55_ I *think* you can add the 360 to a 128gb radio only, but from the wording of the website you have to tell them so they put the 360 magic chip in it. I'd play safe and buy it together.

@@BilalBaghdadi that's what others have done, I'm still trying to sell my body to raise the cash. Just remember you *must* get the 360 can version of the head unit or it won't have the right parts inside, you must tell them you want the 360 cam head unit, if you get a non 360 and then buy the cams they will not work as it won't have a 360 decoding chip inside....(that how it was explained to me)

[@chris360s_]

how do you like it?

[@imranakhtar100]

Thanks for a great review. The biggest question I have is how does the sound quality of the EKIY, Mekede and Teyes CC3 compare? Are they pretty much the same or there significant differences. They all have canbus integration and use Android so UI is similar. Teyes has definitely enhanced their UI and is more fancy than others but they all seem to have decent UI. Again thanks for the reviews, they are detailed and very informative.

[@turkeyphant]

There is no link for the longer video of installation in desc.

[@akayla5435]

I really miss hard buttons. That way, I don't need to take my eyes off the road. Are there any touch screens that include basic hard buttons? I need buttons to move up and down my radio presets. And I NEED a volume knob. I don't believe a solely touch screen interface is practical for a driver. But it's necessary to access all the amazing features.

[@ravholly]

How do you think this system stacks up against the Teyes CC3 2K? I like the tire monitoring system on this that you don't actually have to install anything in your tires which is a huge plus in my book.

[@yargageqc1111]

Interested in this as well

[@MilitiaMillz]

Yeah we need a heads up review of the CC3 2K VS EKiY. I’m leaning CC3 but this one is much more affordable.

[@throwback19841]

See my comment on tpms... long story short, I'd rather have the "proper" TPMS, or none at all, than have those hanging off the end of my valvestems. Think about it - to measure pressure, those little caps HAVE to depress and open the valves to sense pressure. So now your tires remaining inflated depend upon the seal between the cap and your valvestem, not the shrader valve itself. Better not have one iota of dirt or contamination on there...

[@marcprevost105]

EKIY offers the internal ones as well for a little more. You might need a tire shop to install the internal TPMS but you don't have to worry about it unscrewing or some kid walking by and stealing one off your wheel.

[@ravholly]

I have found the Bluetooth on the T7 very poor. I can connect my iPhone, but it won't connect to my OBD Eleven VAG dongle, or my NextBase 522 DashCam ! They did respond to all my questions but were not able to offer a solution. I have found an OBD2 dongle that does work so I can use Torque. Note they originally told me it had BT v5, but AIDA64 revealed it is only BT v4+ ??? My old cheap CAMECHO head unit had better BT ! But other than that everything else seems OK and it is much faster than my old CAMECHO unit.

EKIY is obviously competing with Idoing, seeing that they both offer vehicle specific trimmed units. Comparing the Idoing 2019 Impreza unit with the EKIY unit for the same car, they look identical down to the chamfer around the screen, the location and look of the microphone grill, size of the screen... everything. However, this EKIY unit with optical and coax outputs caught my eye, which is something the Idoing unit does not have. I currently Bluetooth my phone running Tidal directly to my DSP, which eliminates Carplay functionality, and I've been looking for something that would bring that back. The only thing I'm worried about is that its an android OS, which usually resamples the bitrate of your music, and I'd like to avoid that if possible. Do you know if using the coax or toslink outputs would bypass the OS's resampling? I'd assume not, as it will still run Carplay and have the backwards control functionality

For example, I have navigation to a given place enabled. I stop at the station to refuel, come back and have to choose the address again. Similarly with music, when I turn off the car, the music from Sportify/YT stops playing and I have to select the song again. This is how I have it in my current Isudar T72X, everything was better in the previous Isudar T72X. 2. Does the radio allow you to turn on Google Assistant? I know that the producer has his assistant, but he does not support my language. In Isudar I can select Google Assistant, but after each radio reset I have to select it again. Thank you :)

You must have been very lucky to receive all the accessories as I would assume you don't bother buying new 360 cameras with every head unit.

[@SaabUnleashed]

If I were you, I'd measure the voltage going into it, and the physical size which will make it easy to search for a replacement. That being said, in the winter you can probably get away without it.

@@SaabUnleashed thinking of upgrading to a Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX, Premium Quiet Fan with 3 to 2 pin adapter.

[@nialrule]

I had a noisy fan on startup with my ekiy T7, it went away after a couple of minutes but was annoying. I found a same size fan on AliExpress and swapped it over and solved the issue and was pretty cheap

[@jamesmoirano4271]

Mine is all good now, swapped it for a Noctua. It needed a bit of modifying, but really happy with the quality. EKIY even made a contribution 👍🏼

@6:14 I couldn't get the dashcam rear as reverse camera? How did you wire it?

[@GordonBenny]

What size screen is that one? I don't see an adaptor to suit the 9-3. I've just bought the 7" version as the mounting adaptor I have is that size, purchased it a few years back from Xtrons when they were UK based. It's looking a bit used so if you know of a source of a new one it will be very appreciated. It's to suit a 2007 9-3 Aero Convertible.

[@rickardwall4086]

How did you solve this, with adaptor? They send me a different one called GM-XB-15;AIJALV. so far not able to get the unit to power up.

[@Chery318]

Can you tell me please where the rca cables go into 😢 The ones labelled RR-OUT, FL-OUT, AUX IN,AUX OUT etc

[@SaabUnleashed]

An aftermarket amplifier if you have one

Will you please advise which headunit is the brightest? Some of us own convertibles & need high nits brightness

Get an anti glare screen protector

Android head unit geek guy. Just what I was looking for. Just bought a new 2024 Subaru Crosstrek and it has a head unit in the dash. No 360 camera system. I would really like to upgrade the car to this. Where to start with hardware that will integrate nicely with the existing head unit?

[@BilalBaghdadi]

Hello again, I'm asking about parking sensors, EKIY sold someones they are compatible with their T7 head unit, they show the colored lines in the left side of the display, it's cool but they look like the cheap $5 ones, I want model like OEM WITH SMALL CIRCLE. I contacted the store and they said that they don't sold this model. Do you have an idea where can I find that model with OEM form and can shows indicators in the display? Thnx

[@MartinCHorowitz]

I really wish you had an Acura MDX, dual screen and reviewed the android head units..

[@EsotericArctos]

I ordered one of these based on your review, just waiting for it to arrive :). I tend to trust your reviews after watching many videos of yours. It would be nice if the fan had been hardwired to the accessory line internally instead of an external connection, but I guess it makes it easier to replace a failed fan. I did note the T7 does not come standard with 360 degree camera chip and it cost and extra $15 US for me to order one with that chip. I did go all out and get the 8GB RAM model myself as I had a lower spec unit previously and although I used it for almost 6 years, the lower RAM did make it a little sluggish and slow to load more intensive apps like certain navigation apps.

[@MazenArafat]

Hello, After I saw your video, I bought this one, it's very nice and fast.. but I have only one issue.. How to flip the rear cam upside down? I found only the mirror left and right but not up /down... please help

[@moamenahmed4812]

So in the end how did you connect the power fan to the car

[@SaabUnleashed]

If you watch the unboxing part of the video, you'll see one of the included wiring looms has the socket to power that fan

[@tocho666]

Does it have rca Pre-outs for the rear speakers. If not, how can you connect the rear speakers?

[@TMHWarriorGaspy]

Atoto S8 Ultra or this one? What's your pick?

[@juswillit]

So should I go with the Teyes cc3 2k 360 or this for my 2010 Saab 9-3 Aero AWD? What is the biggest screen you would recommend? I know that the cupholder will be blocked so any reason I cannot go with a 10.2 inch? The overhang won't really matter towards the passenger/glovebox side of the dash? (I am in the U.S. and in a left-hand drive car. Thanks, I would really appreciate your final recommendation for my Saabs.

[@SaabUnleashed]

If your choice is of these two and can afford the difference, buy the Teyes. You will be limited to the 9 inch one because any bigger and you won't be able to put the vents back in. If you want a bigger screen, get a Joying. The screen clips into place after you've replaced the vents. I have a video showing the installation of that in the 9-3

[@anthonybostock7515]

What is the sound quality like as I see so many different reviews regarding these units and everyone moans about them obviously there’s lots of brands. I just wanna make sure I’m getting the best one for my money.

[@CheapMessiah]

Can this be installed in a 2 din bay so that the screen is floating like in your saab? I have an alfa romeo GT which is kind of hard to get a good android head unit like this for.

[@ctdwood]

Hello @saab unleashed thankyou for this most informative video. I am looking to install something like this along with a 360 camera system / TPMS etc into my 2010 Volvo XC90. Looking at their store, EKIY appear to do a X7 head unit for the Volvo. The price is sub £100… is that right?! Is the X7 essentially the same head unit as this T7 but with a different adapter plate for Volvos, as I don’t see a reference to the X7 on their website, only AliExpress. One last question, does the 360 camera give any visual alerts on screen, or audible alerts if the car is too close to an object, or is it purely the camera feeds? Thankyou very much.

[@SaabUnleashed]

I can't speak for the compatibility between Volvo models, but I can tell you that if you buy something that is less than £100, you'll be disappointed. There should be options where you can select the components, make sure to get something higher end. The 360 system doesn't have audible noises, you'd have to also install radar sensors, but that's easy

[@7NINER3]

So besides the price difference, how does this compare to thre CC3? Which one is better?

[@SaabUnleashed]

There is no contest. Watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJOwgYiKi6h1gdk

[@ronkelsall8033]

I have just purchased a EKIY T8 any idea what the very long twin green cable is for. ? Also reversing camera only comes on when you switch the lights on manually. Also, cant get the steering wheel buttons to work. Mine is a Mercedes ML 300 2010. Any suggestions please

[@MartinGlass-riderontheredhorse]

When ordering the head unit, how do you make sure you get all of the usb ports and provisions for 360 degree camera?

[@SaabUnleashed]

Contact EKIY through Aliexpress and they'll look after you

[@vincenzo1734]

Do you know other android unit that can integrate a front and rear dashcam and can use the rear one as reverse camera?

[@TMHWarriorGaspy]

Atoto S8 Ultra. Also comes with 360 viewing when backing up. I just started watching this video, so I don't know which one is better... yet. The reviews for the Atoto S8 Ultra are really good though so if this unit doesn't match up to that one, I'm going with the Atoto.

[@ZuraKazi]

Thanks for the videos!
